Sadly, it did not end well. Bar Kochba led them to disaster and 2,000 years of exile. And the Temple has never been rebuilt. It is debatable if the Jews had hung on through roman rule if the invading Muslims would have destroyed it. I think they would have, looking at their record of destruction in other occupied regions like Spain.

My understanding was that Hebrews of the time would hire others to mint their coins, (for example the temple tax coin) because of the prohibition of making a graven image.

Speaking of coins....hope the timing of the minting was spot on.
